Fonteverde

Inspired by their own wellbeing traditions, they also offer exceptional and unique spa treatments using their detox mud. Here they explain what makes them so special…

What exactly is detox mud?

The detox mud treatments are exclusive body and face treatments of thermal origin, based on precious minerals such as sulphur, calcium, magnesium and fluorine. The treatments include the manual application of the thermal mud to the face and body, a period of relaxation after mud application and a thermal shower and detoxing massage over the whole body using natural products.

Where does it come from?

This treatment comes from the ancient thermal tradition, Salus per Aquam, thanks to our spa waters and thermal mud that allow a natural balance of the skin and of muscles.

Grotta Giusti

What is it supposed to do?

The aim of our detox mud is to purify, oxygenate and detoxify the cutaneous tissues of the skin, generating deep relaxation for body and mind.
